New York in the 70s is a personal collection of photographs documenting an exciting chapter in New York's history and a remarkable body of work produced by photographer Allan Tannenbaum while he was a photo editor of the SoHo Weekly News in Manhattan.

The photographs encompass many aspects of New York life while capturing the heady exuberance of the era, from SoHo and the art world to the city's politics and society.

By photographing everything from street gangs to disco divas, from the homeless to Hollywood stars, Tannenbaum had assembled a personal diary of his journey as a photo journalist and ranconteur through a strange and exotic era of New York life.
